RISE@home
This is a chance for GodFirst women to come together in our own church family, to worship, enjoy lunch together, hear some great teaching and discover more of who we are in Jesus. We’re so excited to have Emma Slater speaking on the theme of identity - reminding us of who God says we are and encouraging us to live from that place. We can't wait to see you there - book your place today! Sat 14th Nov, 12:00 - 14:30
Wow Factor Party!
We'd love you to come to our Wow Factor Party! Games & activities are aimed at 4-11 year olds, but you're welcome to bring siblings who are slightly older or younger. These events have been a great bridge into the community so bring you friends, family & neighbours and have some fun!

Discovering Kingdom Culture
What do we mean by 'The Kingdom of God' and what does 'Kingdom Culture' look like? When people encounter you and I, do they taste something of what heaven might be like? We will explore all of this and more at our 3 week Discovering Kingdom Culture course, starting Sun 8th Nov, 7:30pm. We want to be people who are learning to think and live like Jesus, expressing heaven on earth just as He did, so we can transform the world. Click here to sign up.

Reverse Advent
Autumn is here and Christchurch Foodbank are busy preparing for Christmas and have already had lots of requests for the ‘Reverse Advent Goodie boxes’. If you'd like to start collecting for one, please click here for the list - it's a great thing to do as a family, in your work place or with your GodFirst Circle. Thank you!
Tell Us Your Stories
God is always at work in our church family, and we'd love to hear what He has been doing in your life - this strengthens faith and calls others to believe for similar miracles, whether healing, provision, relationship restoration, anything that God has done.
